"Lady... it suits you so well!
Yeah, I guess so.
"Yes! It's really beautiful!
I was somewhat embarrassed by Mary's compliments and felt hesitant to leave my room.
"This is all thanks to His Highness and the Queen."
"... Mother... I'm sorry to trouble you..."
"It's okay. That's how we solved everything, and we saw Rachel in the clear.Mother, if Rachel's happy, that's fine. "
My mother's kind words made me feel like tears, but I remembered that she applied makeup beautifully and I endured it desperately.
Cedric and the Queen solved the case of the black dress I woke up in.
I was afraid that the queen would wear the dress she was wearing at the wedding.
It would be convenient for Cedric's fiancée to wear a golden dress based on your hair color, and above all, it would be a very priceless appeal to receive the dress that the Queen cherishes.
But honestly, when I heard this proposal, my cheeks pulled...
It's not like I'm making a problem, but give me a break!I wanted to refuse with a loud voice.
A golden dress can be worn because it is a queen with the beauty of an elf, and I thought it would become a gold-plated dress when plain Rachel wore it.
This is what I sprinkled... I was originally about to get out in a black dress, and I was ready to accept a clean public execution.
But today at the graduation ceremony, I was surprised to try on the dress again.
The golden dress, which had fewer cosmetics than when I tried it on, was very simple, but it vividly fascinated Rachel's pale skin color.
Because of the simplicity of the dress, the big emerald from Cedric for today shines even more on his chest.
The long black hair was unusual, or there was no plain atmosphere, and Rachel was intelligent and colorful in the mirror.
For the first time, I looked attractive to myself, who was highly regarded as plain.
In a dress of the same color as Cedric's hair, Cedric's eyes were stoned on his chest, and his cheeks became hot as if he were Cedric's fiancée.
Leaving the room as it was, he was admired by his father and brother with tears.
"Ah! Rachel! How adorable!
"It's like a fairy... it's like a goddess!
I suddenly wanted to go back to my room, but I was nervous about the butler's report that Cedric was coming to pick me up.
Escorted by his father, Cedric slowly headed for the entrance hall where he waited.
As you descend slowly and escorted down the large staircase that leads to the front door, Cedric and Cedric stand in the hall.
Although his eyes met, Cedric was stunned and didn't show me the soft smile he always did.
Like my father, I suddenly felt anxious because I thought he would be happy enough to rip my tail off.
"Thank you for waiting, Your Highness."
…………
"... Your Highness?
Concerned by Cedric's lack of response, he inadvertently looked up at his father standing next to him, and he smiled happily before coughing up one.
…… Oh, oh, sorry. "
"Your Highness, take care of my daughter.Don't be too early for the wedding..... "
…… Yes, of course, Duke.I promise. "
Cedric, whose ears turned slightly red, and his father shook hands strongly before Cedric turned to me.
"Rachel... it's so beautiful... I accidentally fell in love."
Cedric praised me with a good look at my eyes even though it was irritated, and my cheeks became red.
"... thank you.I mean... Your Highness is also very well suited... "
Cedric, wearing my colour, was dressed like a military uniform with an animated character from the previous life.Cedric's blonde hair appeared black in his uniform, and the expression "beautiful" was perfect.
By the way, military uniforms in this world have different colors depending on class, but the most popular is brown.
"I'm so happy to wear Rachel's colors."
"... please don't do this anymore"
The necklace looks good on you too.
Cedric smiled happily while being illuminated, and his father, who looked down at me like he was hiding his face that had turned bright red when he was hit by it, coughed up, and we spilled a bitter smile.
Taking the hand offered to Cedric, we took the carriage and headed for the royal castle first.
◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇
Escorted into the hall by Cedric, I was remarkable.
Not only was it a pair of princes and fiancées, but it was also because the colors were too distinctive for each other, which was already noticeable.
Not only when I was dancing, but I was even more surprised to see Cedric catching up with me and not wanting to leave for an hour.
The case of Elena Heim came to the nobles' knowledge that Cedric was approaching Elena on a mission because of the capture of Vicomte Heim.
However, I don't think I can hide my surprise in the sweet face that I didn't show you in school life, even though I didn't know that our relationship changed after that.
The ladies sighed peachy sighs as Cedric prepared a drink by my side, handed over to her waist, and gently smiled with attention to every corner.
"Sadie... don't stick around too much.It's embarrassing. "
"Rejected. How do you think you can leave a wolf everywhere?
"... I can't believe it's a wolf"
"Anyway, no. Stay with me all day today."
"I'm not a kid, I'm exaggerating...."
"You're exaggerating.It's him, it's him, it's him!Everybody's watching Rachel.I really don't want to show you another millimeter.... "
A bitter smile was spilled on Cedric, who leaned relentlessly, and as he was holding his hand, Gilbert approached and shouted.
It is also a tradition for royalty to make a declaration as a member of the royal family when they graduate from school.
After the first half of the party had passed, Mr. Gilbert came to call Cedric to prepare his speech.
After repeatedly telling me not to be alone and kissing my cheeks in a shameful way, Cedric and Gilbert went to prepare.A little laughter spills over your face as if you won't see each other for days to come.
After that, I spent a while with my brother, but he took me to the maid's room in the royal castle after dressing up.
And it was when I finished all the makeup and went out on the balcony to get a little bit of the wind before I got back.
Something vigorously rubbed his right cheek and broke the window glass behind him, making a noise.
Looking back in surprise, a short arrow is stuck in the carpet in the room.
There was quite a noise, but the soldiers who were supposed to be outside the room never came into the room.
I sent an eye contact to the maid in a hurry for confirmation, and the maid hurried to get me out of the room.Then an arrow pierces the floor of the room again.The arrow penetrated between me and the maid.After checking the arrows and turning to the balcony again, you can see the woman walking loosely towards us from the grass in the garden.
When I looked closely, I found out who I was, even though I was dirty and worn out.
…… Elena! "
Elaina was slowly approaching the balcony where I was.
Though I was as carefree as she was unusual, I decided that she was only after me and tried to keep the maid away from me.
"Hurry up and call the soldiers."
"That's all!Dangerous! You're not getting away with this!
"Stop it! Hurry up!Don't do what I tell you!
Scared of my shouting, the maid nodded deeply and left the room.
I can't explain why, but I felt I shouldn't run away here.
In the meantime, I will deploy defensive magic to see how it goes.
"... Elena?Elaina, right?
Unable to respond to my query, she finally approached the fence, the boundary between the balcony and the garden.My eyes were empty, and I tried to climb up the fence with my dirty feet as I murmured something with bumps.Elaina jumped at me beyond the fence, confronted with behavior unlikely to be seen in this world.
As I unfolded my protective magic, she fell off her face on a balcony made of beshah and marble.
Trembling like a horror movie, she pulled a short arrow out of a worn out dress.
"... you want to... you're in my way...!Me....! I'm heroin!
The words burst into tears.Unknown until now, but apparently she's a reincarnated person just like me.
"... that's right... ah, you too!?
If so, it would mean that I really got in the way of Heroin.But I have a right to be happy, and of course she is...
I never thought Elena would be a reincarnated person with me.I was trying not to think about it.If that's the case, I feel like I've destroyed the original route of the world and taken Cedric from her...
"... everything... it's all your fault... you took everything from me!
"......!
"You'll stop harassing me on the way!You're a reincarnated person, aren't you?But I'm the heroine!I'm heroin!You're a villain, right?Why are you there!?Give me my place back!
It was as if I had been read in my heart.
"It's your fault... the world is distorted by your presence... without you... yes... that's why I have to fix the bug..."
My throat buzzes against words that deny my very existence.
After Cedric became like this, I felt that way about me somewhere in my heart.But Rachel does exist in this world, and some families love Rachel.It's not just a world of maiden games, it's a world where Rachel, Cedric, and his family all exist as human beings with lives.
Of course, it shouldn't be a bad thing to get engaged to Cedric along the way... but knowing how the maiden game works also made me feel like I've taken someone else's lover away.
Naturally, I couldn't tell anyone this and I didn't mean to.
"... I'm sorry..."
I was unconsciously squeezing like that.
"... what are you talking about now... now it's even worse!
Thinking that my words had reached her for the first time, Elena was about to shook her right hand with an arrow and stab me with an arrow.
I kept my eyes on her as if I were watching my sins.
Because I was developing protective magic, I didn't get hurt, but I didn't think about it anymore.
Elaina's hand stopped when she told me that an arrow was about to sting.
It seemed very different when I thought it was protective magic, and it looked like something was pulling my hand.
"What the hell!How dare you! "
I put pressure on my left hand, which was stopping while shaking my hair, and I couldn't stop trembling at Elena, who was trying to stab me with an arrow.
"... Erena."
"... to..."
When Elaina, who was in trouble, stopped moving, she felt a little light returning to her cloudy starchy eyes.Then, whispering a groan, the hand that grabbed the arrow diligently trembled and opened little by little.It seemed like I was desperately moving muscles that I didn't like.
Looking stunnedly, she met Elena, who was illuminated by light.
"... nigh... nigh... nigh... nigh!
When the arrow fell to the floor, Elena crouched with her head in her arms.
The way you moan while scratching your dirty peach hair with your hands is completely different from the lovely Elena you used to be.
"Hah... uhh!... uhh... come on... hurry up "
Suddenly, Elena raised her face and shouted loudly as she stared at me in a daze.
"......! Scream!Hurry! "
Elena, who shouted at me like that, squats on the floor again and groans.
I desperately try to sort out the situation while watching her behave differently.
Indeed, she told me to run.
"... well, why..."
"... gu!... uuu... hah... hurry up... gu!Ahhhhhh!
Elaina, who was squatting and moaning, began to suffer loudly as she turned her head away from the floor and her throat turned upside down.
I approached her and touched her to confirm my consciousness.
Elena! Are you okay?!Miss Elena!
"... gugh... uuuuu"
Her heart was pounding like Elaina was scratching her hair.As he was desperately moving his panicked brain, the door of the room was opened with a loud noise, and Cedric and a few nearby guards came in.
"Rachel!
Cedric pulls me away from Elena and hugs me with strong force, but my eyes are still pointing at Elena.Elaina, captured by her incoming bodyguard, Chris Ford, walked away from Chris Ford's captivity with a loud voice and looked like a wild beast.
You felt pain in Chris Ford's arm, which strongly suppressed Elaina's violent attack, and tears were shed on Elaine's cheek.
"Stop it! Please."
"Rachel!?
"Chris Ford! Please!
Cedric, including Chris Ford, is surprised at my incredible request.
Of course, Chris Ford's arm won't loosen.I complained desperately from Cedric's arms, hugging me.
"Chris Ford! Stop it! Stop it!Don't stop!
On my sword screen, Chris Ford's arm loosened for a moment, and Elena stopped groaning.Slowly lifting her hanging head, Elena gazed at me and whispered with a powerless voice, unconscious in Chris Ford's restraint.
I was staring into Cedric's arms at Elena, who was dying without strength.In her head, the last word she murmured was a wooden spirit.
